Jim Hamilton has had quite an exceptional career when you think about it, seemed to start out very promisingly at his first two clubs but for a distinctly average/below average player, he's made himself a decent enough career and that has to be commended.

fine-n-dandy Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 The king of the journeymen.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_BurridgeTrue but he had the advantage of there being no transfer windows & rules as to how many clubs you could sign for a season. That's some fkn list though. Link to comment

Over performed everywhere, except with the team he supported. Link to comment

NorthernLights24 Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I knew Hamilton flopped but I didn't realise until reading that Wikipedia article that he spent less then a year with us. Who was the club he scored his only goal for us against? I bet its something depressing like the our only goal in a 4-1 thrashing at the hands of Kille Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 A little ironic that of all the diddy Scottish clubs he played for, that he didn't play for Hamilton. He would have been a hero for them. Would have sold loads of strips. Link to comment

The Boofon Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 A professional by strict definition shouldn't be a journeyman. If he is a journeyman he's not really very professional. Just saying. Link to comment

The Boofon Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 He played 6 games for us, settle down. Aye but he looked decent. (The rest of the team probably assisted with this mind you) Certainly not the worst player in that era by any stretch of the imagination. Honest as well. Made it clear he was fucking off to China instead of trying to bullshit like others did with contracts. Link to comment
